- the inventors have researched bonding a supporting substrate, particularly composed of mullite, onto a piezoelectric material layer composed of lithium niobate or lithium tantalate strongly and stably.
- the reason is that it is preferred to make the piezoelectric material layer thin by polishing after the supporting substrate is bonded to the piezoelectric material layer in light of the performance and that fine separation occurs during the polishing if the bonding strength is low.

- LiAO 3 may be lithium niobate, lithium tantalate or lithium niobate-lithium tantalate solid solution.
- the supporting substrate is composed of mullite.
- Mullite is a ceramic composed of mullite crystals each having a composition of 3Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2 (Al 6 O 13 Si 2 ).
- Mullite may preferably be of a sintered body, and its production method is not particularly limited.
- the relative density of mullite used in the present invention may preferably be 99.5 percent or higher and may be 100 percent, depending on bonding strength.
- the relative density is to be measured by the Archimedes method.
- the purity of mullite may preferably be 98 percent or higher and more preferably be 99 percent or higher, depending on bonding strength.
- compositions of the respective layers shown in FIGS. 1 ( b ) and 2 are as follows.
- composition of supporting substrate Al 6 O 13 Si 2
- each of the interface layer and supporting substrate-side intermediate layer contains one or more element (A) selected from the group consisting of niobium and tantalum, plus oxygen (O), aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) as main components.

- A element selected from the group consisting of niobium and tantalum, plus oxygen (O), aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si)
- main components means that a total of these elements is 95 atomic percent or higher and may preferably be 97 atomic percent or higher, provided that 100 is assigned to a total of all the elements.
- the silicon ratio of the supporting substrate-side intermediate layer 5 should be higher than the silicon ratio of the interface layer 4 .
- the supporting substrate-side intermediate layer and interface layer are very thin, so that the diffusion of silicon is facilitated depending on the activation state of each bonding surface. It is thus considered that the diffusion of silicon is concentrated in the interface layer 4 slightly distant from the supporting substrate 3 . Then, it is found that the bonding strength is considerably improved when such diffusion takes place.
- the interface layer 4 is bright and the supporting substrate-side intermediate layer 5 is dark.
- this photograph is a bright-field image taken by a transmission type electron microscope under the following conditions.
- the microstructure is observed using a transmission type electron microscope (supplied by JEOL Ltd., “JEM-ARM200F”).
